A shell script, not a shell. Shell scripts are used for many things,
including most of system initialization via the scripts in /etc/init.d,
/etc/rc.d, or /sbin/rc.d (location varies by distribution/version, and there
might be other locations used too).
Basically, you can add a script to the directory appropriate to your
distribution, then put a symlink to it in the runlevel directory that you
use (unless you use Slackware, which does it differently).
That's the general idea. The specifics are very distribution dependent, so
if you need specific help, you'll need to tell us what Linux you are using.
